WWE SmackDown May 16: Triple H plants the seed for a feud between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa
Jacob Fatu takes exception to Solo Sikoa's words
Solo Sikoa projected himself as the leader and pride of his family on SmackDown and even implied that he was responsible for Jacob Fatu being the US Champion. 'The Samoan Werewolf' took exception to this and said that he plans to continue his reign with or without him. Solo then cut him short and asked him to show his loyalty to him again.

This led to tension between the two men. LA Knight's music and the issues were seemingly forgotten. 'The Megastar' then pulled JC out of the ring and assaulted him for costing him the US title at Backlash.
Jacob Fatu to turn face soon?
Jacob Fatu has gotten over with the WWE Universe in virtually no time. As such, a face turn is on the cards. Given what happened on SmackDown, there is a strong chance of Solo Sikoa and JC eventually turning on him. This would lead to a long feud between Jacob Fatu and Solo, culminating in a match at a Premium Live Event.
